San Francisco Pride celebrates love and resilience amid surging anti-LGBTQ+ laws

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:27:27 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Logan Oretl had known he was gay for as long as he could remember. But as the 20-year-old stood by Market Street — in the thick of waving rainbow flags, dancing drag queens and a flurry of bubbles — on Sunday, he said he’d never felt more accepted.“I’m not used to seeing so much open love, and to finally be able to walk around without feeling afraid,” said Oretl, who had flown — for the very first time — from his small town in Ohio to attend San Francisco’s 53rd pride parade. “It’s nice to be able to just be happy.”Oretl was just one of an expected million attendees at the parade, which flooded down Market Street Sunday morning. Politicians gave out hugs to attendees soaked in glitter; people in inflatable unicorn costumes chatted with members of the city’s rainbow-clad fire department. San Francisco’s streets were bursting with people — all there despite an increasingly hostile political climate and a pandemic that has hit the city hard.Today, ther...

Mets walk 3 batters, hit 2 and make 1 error in 8th-inning meltdown and lose 7-6 to Phillies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:27:27 GMT

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brett Baty hesitated getting the ball out of his glove. Josh Walker failed to throw the ball over the plate. Jeff Brigham threw his baseballs directly at Phillies hitters.Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner couldn’t escape the wild ones and the Phillies sluggers were plunked in consecutive at-bats. The Mets simply couldn’t get out of their own way in a fundamental breakdown in the eighth inning that turned almost comical — at least for Phillies fans — as they choked away a sure thing.The final tally, for those keeping score at home, the Phillies walked three times, were hit twice, reached on an error and had just one hit in a 10-batter, four-run eighth inning that set off a 7-6 win over New York on Sunday.“Crazy one,” Turner said “Kind of weird. Lot of fun.”Even by the Mets’ sometimes-feeble standards throughout their history, that was an amazin’ meltdown.“I’m not sure if I’ve seen it before,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “The chances are unlikely, I...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers put outfielder Chris Taylor on the injured list Sunday, retroactive to Thursday, with a bone bruise in his right knee.Taylor is batting .206 (34 for 165) with 11 home runs seven and 26 runs batted in 59 games.“That’s not completely healed, and you can just see him compensating,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the game against the Houston Astros on Sunday night. “And he’s as tough as anyone, so it just doesn’t look right.”Third baseman Max Muncy is set to return from an injured left hamstring on Tuesday to begin a three-game series at Colorado. Muncy, who has not played since June 11, is tied with Mookie Betts for the team lead with 18 home runs. His 45 RBIs are tied with Betts for third.“Max looked really good,” Roberts said after Muncy took live at-bats Sunday. “Just talked to him briefly and I just can’t imagine him not being at third base on Tuesday. And then we’ll probably give him a day off that Wednesday, and then back in th...

I figured it was a big moment and I let it go there.” Miller played the last two seasons for Cleveland and was a “little bit surprised” about the trade.“I think most guys are when they’re traded,” he said. “I appreciate my time in Cleveland. I thank them for everything. They gave me a ton of opportunities to come into the league and grow as a player. I have nothing but good things to say.”...
